Arroz Mexicano (literally Mexican rice). It's simple and quick to make but the flavor is vibrant and comforting at the same time. And if you top it with a fried egg (slightly less traditional) then it's a full hearty meal!

Ratatouille

So easy to make. So good

Grilled dried salted mackerel. Can recommend. Saba bunka-boshi.

Gumbo. Usually I put chicken and sausage in it, but if I can get some good shrimp and crab, that's the tops.

[–] motruck@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 days ago

How do you make your shrimp and crab gumbo?

kibbeh. I don't make it in a very traditional way I think. Its the way my Syrian mom taught me. Basically a meatloaf with equal parts lamb and beef. Bulgur wheat, onions, pine nuts and lots of seasonings (cinnamon is the wild card and most distinctive part).

With kielbasa and cabbage. Yummy.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 2 points 6 days ago

And fried onions and sour cream.

All cooked up in enough butter to drown a small child.

Chnöpfli (similar to Spätzle). Central Swiss wheat pasta.

[–] Strider@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Knöpfe, Allgäu. Nicht nur Schweiz 😁 (die einzig wahren Käsespätzle)

Spinatknödel! Leberknödelsuppe! Kaspressknödel!

[–] gid@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hesperollekes! Chicory wrapped in ham and baked in a cheese sauce. My ultimate comfort food.

It's from Flanders (northern part of Belgium)

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Shouldn't it be a traditional dish we love to make?

Make or eat. Honestly, there are some traditional foods I love to eat but I don't want to make them myself because they're time consuming.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Raw radish. Little bit of salt.

[–] DrBob@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Grilled cheese sandwich.

Cholent and kishke. I make it very rarely but it's really a great comfort food in the cooler months

[–] vicdawgd@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Deep fried pork belly - lechon kawali

[–] PoastRotato@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Chapo with beef stew! The stuff my childhood is made of.
